Great to have the opportunity to learn from the fantastic speakers today at the Service User Academia Symposium. Big thanks to the organising committee and panelists #SUAS2021

[Service Users Academia Symposium @ServUsersIA]

What a day! Thank you all for coming and contributing to such a great mini symposium this year. It was lovely seeing some old friends and making new ones, and #SUAS2021 was only a success because of the great community we have.

[Priscilla Ennals @EnnalsP]

And @HelenaRoennfel2 extends this beautiful session- talking about the sacred & transformative spaces that mental health crises can present in people’s lives #SUAS2021

[Melissa Petrakis @MelPetrakis]

@MsALibertine2 Loved @MsALibertine2 today on "thinking with the mangrove" and #PeerSupport as an always-becoming assemblage! #SUAS2021

[Aimee Sinclair @MsALibertine2]

Thankyou @Carinya1990 for speaking to how tough its been to attempt phd work in the last 2yrs, resonated deeply #SUAS2021

[Priscilla Ennals @EnnalsP]

Loving hearing about Kaupapa Maori research methodology with Dave Burnside #SUAS2021 - methodology as compassion

[brett scholz — @wingspan.bsky.social @brett_scholz]

Almost at the end of #SUAS2021 already 😢 but super excited to hear from some postgrad members of the SUAS community in this next session.

[Priscilla Ennals @EnnalsP]

Many of these trailblazers in audience today 🙏at #SUAS2021 , along with folk who will be future trailblazers- challenging status quo in mental health teaching, research & practice

[Priscilla Ennals @EnnalsP]

Calls for curriculum transformation for mental health workforce to enable rethinking ways MH disciplines think & practice at #SUAS2021

[brett scholz — @wingspan.bsky.social @brett_scholz]

Reflecting on how even though we're dispersed for #SUAS2021 this year, I'm still feeling a sense of valuable community-building going on. Very glad we have this day together-apart 😁

[Priscilla Ennals @EnnalsP]

A real privilege to be on this panel with @BeresfordPeter @AlbertoVasquez & @jotaylor_nz #SUAS2021

[Aimee Sinclair @MsALibertine2]

The background sound to my #suas2021 attendance today consists of “the wheels on the bus” courtesy of rhyme time at the library 🤣

[Dr Bridget @bid_dr]

Alberto Vasquez, consulting to UN: We need to connect up research & advocacy agendas #SUAS2021

[brett scholz — @wingspan.bsky.social @brett_scholz]

Creating a service user led research agenda - rather than attaching to existing agendas - will take this research out of the margins. - Alberto Vasquez #SUAS2021

[brett scholz — @wingspan.bsky.social @brett_scholz]

Lucky to hear from Alberto Vasquez this morning at #SUAS2021 and the way in which we can learn a lot from the human rights community and disability community

[brett scholz — @wingspan.bsky.social @brett_scholz]

@jotaylor_nz closes with the hope that service user academics become the norm rather than the exception. Hear hear! #SUAS2021

[brett scholz — @wingspan.bsky.social @brett_scholz]

ngl, I'm jealous of @jotaylor_nz's students at Massey who are getting more and more service user led and human rights based teaching each year #SUAS2021
